After the last time the United States launched an operation to capture asteroids, Dong Chen found that the United States was indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp.

After Arc Group got Musk's company in hand, Dong Chen knew that Mi Guo no longer planned to fight with Arc Group at this critical moment of scientific and technological development.

Such a country will no longer stir up any waves.

Although the United States internally said that this was for a better future, Dong Chen could be sure that as long as the Arc Group showed no signs of weakening, the United States would really no longer openly find trouble with the Arc Group or even go to war.

But Dong Chen still underestimated the country, although it didn't set off the storm between the Arc Group and the country, but the country could wave it by itself.

Understanding this truth, Dong Chen did not underestimate the "unintentional" destructive power of the United States, so he asked No. 1 to transfer another unit of monitoring bugs to the United States Space Agency to monitor their every move there.

Now that the United States and Arc Space are competing for the throne of power in the space field, the place where it is easy to make trouble is the United States Space Agency, look at their command center, and then see which conference room the leaders of the Space Administration go to, and the monitoring bugs will follow up.

After watching the follow-up surveillance video, as well as the experts and officials in the conference room with gloomy faces, plus the number one added from time to time, Dong Chen finally knew what was going on.

Mi Guo refused to just give up, Dong Chen knew, and after letting No. 1 bring the Mi Guo Space Agency into the monitoring scope again, Dong Chen also learned about their follow-up plan.

The first asteroid was dragged into Earth's orbit by them, and the whole process was very successful, and the sensation caused was very huge.

But after completion, it is still the same problem, how to continue to attract the news points to yourself? And then let the people of the world realize the strength of the United States?

The problem is back to square one, and it's annoying to them.

However, after their discussion, since the plan to capture the asteroid was quite successful, let's continue on this path.

It is obviously not beneficial to fight with others on the projects pioneered by Arc Aerospace, and they are not to mention the projects that Arc Aerospace can't do.

So thinking about it, it is still reliable to create this path of catching asteroids by yourself.

The first one has already been taken by himself, so what to do in the future is to compare with himself.

In the end, after the meeting, it was decided that they planned to make ten asteroids, all of which would be put into the Earth's orbit.

Doesn't the Arc Group have ten space stations, then they will have ten asteroids, plus a space station, and these eleven things are all larger than the space station of the Arc Group.

Not only is it big, but when all the projects are completed, they will be able to have one more quantity unit than the Arc Group.

Ten to eleven, Mi Guo wins.

Moreover, those ten asteroids will be used as reserve resources for the development of space power in the United States, and there will be no waste, in Chinese words, it is "prepared", "take precautions" or something, which is a manifestation of wit.

After the United States builds the new International Space Station, it will be much easier for the United States and its allies to discover space strength after it is specially enhanced, so that the United States and its allies will want to discover space strength.

The material is at the "doorstep", how fast it develops.

After determining what to do, they began to discuss the detailed plan, and they upgraded the "Hercules" intelligent thruster, and learned from the first implementation experience, and made minor adjustments to the overall plan to make it more thorough and perfect.

However, it was this asteroid capture program that had already had a successful experience once, and the second time it failed.

“…… I've seen their plan, and I feel really good, the equipment is more advanced than the first time, and the plan is better than the first time, why is there a problem? ”

After reading it, Dong Chen was even more puzzled.

Because it's kind of unreasonable.

"Sir, there is no news yet, they are also urgently investigating internally, I will inform you as soon as there is news." Number One replied.

"Okay," Dong Chen was also helpless, and then asked, "What about their defensive measures, which have been kept open, there is no accident, right?" ”

"Yes, sir, their defenses are exactly what they say, they have been turned on when the asteroid is starting to approach Earth, and they are aimed at the target."

As he spoke, No. 1 also showed Dong Chen some information, all of which were information on the corresponding defensive measures opened by the United States.

It's just that No. 1 said after answering Dong Chen's question, "However, sir, if they want to eliminate the threat of this second asteroid, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." ”

"Why?"

Dong Chen wondered.

"Have you forgotten? The second asteroid they captured was named "Hammer", and it was you who got the name for the first giant near-Earth asteroid found in Arc Spaceflight. ”

No. 1 showed Dong Chen a picture as he spoke.

Hammer?

Hearing No. 1 mention the name and the picture on display, Dong Chen immediately remembered it.

"Well, no wonder!"

"Just for a name, Mi Guo is estimated to be beaten this time."

The asteroid "Iron Hammer" was really discovered after the establishment of arc spaceflight.

Since the discovery of the first near-Earth asteroid by scientists on Earth, the number of near-Earth asteroids has been constantly refreshed, because the continuous upgrading of science and technology has allowed scientists to find and track them more effectively.

Of course, financial allocations are indispensable here, and without money, it is difficult to effectively maintain effective tracking accuracy and continuous discovery numbers, because there are also a lot of resources to be used during this period.

However, for the sake of human safety, countries with space capabilities have relevant near-Earth asteroid discovery and tracking agencies.

The daily job is to discover new near-Earth asteroids, calculate how much threat it poses to Earth, track it, and finally relay synchronized information to peers to ensure that you can do the most with the least amount of money.

After all, the asteroid hitting the earth is not just a matter of one country, and its consequences are absolutely global, so this requires the cooperation of various countries.

After the establishment of arc spaceflight, it subsequently joined the near-Earth asteroid defense system, and due to the advanced nature of its own technology, many new near-Earth asteroids have been discovered, and accurate tracking data has been provided.

This "hammer" is one of them.

When the new near-Earth asteroid was first discovered, the orbit was calculated and found that it also orbited around the Sun, and it passed by the Earth once in about five years.

It resembles a bold Q version of the letter "T", reaching 2.5 kilometers at its widest point and almost 4 kilometers at its longest point, although it is not as large as the largest near-Earth asteroid "Tutadis" discovered so far, but it has also entered the first echelon of giant asteroids.

However, later further research found that it has a high metal content, which is a typical metallic asteroid, coupled with this shape, Dong Chen looked at it and said directly, "Isn't this just a hammer?" ”

As a result, this giant near-Earth asteroid discovered by arc light spaceflight is called "Iron Hammer".

In line with the principle of "first found, first named", the international community has also agreed to this name.

Not to mention, anyone who has seen its shape and then knows its composition thinks that the name is quite appropriate.
